What this book is about

Meet NinjaBread Man, Brute Cake, Mangled Mallow, Peanut Riddle, and the Ribbonator—angry holiday foodstuffs bent on revenge against the partygoers who ate their friends and family. Standing between chaos and Christmas cheer is Karate Kane, a kung-fu-fighting candy cane sworn to protect the innocent.


The Holiday Hooligans is more than a graphic novel—it’s an interactive creativity experience. Alongside origin stories, battles, and character-driven humor, readers will find guided activities designed to spark imagination and artistic confidence.


This special edition includes comic stories featuring the full Holiday Hooligans cast, scripted pages with pre-sized panels for creating original comics, character design and origin-story worksheets, and creative prompts suitable for classrooms, workshops, or home use.


Originally used in school presentations to promote creativity, this book expands that mission into a hands-on graphic novel that encourages young artists to read, imagine, and create.


Ideal for creative kids, aspiring comic artists, classrooms, and families who enjoy humor-driven graphic novels with interactive elements.
